Update 11/01: I’ve changed the format of this a bit to make it easier for you to QUICKLY see the NEWEST Deals for the day (or Weekend Wrap-Ups.) I was struggling with how best to keep some of the previous deals around that were still good, without making it cumbersome to find that day’s New Deals. It seemed a shame to just delete some of the deals after a day that were still really good and long-term. But, I also want you to be able to quickly check on the newest ones, too! So, deals from the SAME day (or weekend wrap-up for 3-days) will be at the very top. Deals that you may want to reference later will follow.

In my Penny Pantry Facebook Group, I post many deals & info. throughout the day including freebies, deal updates & changes, Amazon Deals, meals & recipes, food discounts I run across + more! Some are more timely than others: the Amazon Warehouse Deals tend to come and go quickly, so Facebook is a good platform for me to let you know about those deals quickly.

Posts here on my website take longer to write and deliver, so I primarily use it for Weekly Grocery Deals, and other deals I think you may want to reference later. But, I’d like to bridge that gap as not everyone is on Facebook. Plus, it may be nice to have the Daily Deals together, as the Facebook feeds don’t run exclusively chronologically.

So, I’ll try this out and see how it goes! Please let me know if you think this will be useful as a companion to my Facebook posts. And, if you’re on Facebook and haven’t joined our group yet, I hope you will join and become part of our active, supportive vegan community! <3 Amy

Note on photos: Some may be illustrative of a product, but not the actual product. For example, I may use a general photo of apples I took to report on a sale on apples.

Happy Saving!

NEW Deals – Quick List!

The Daily Digest Monday, March 29

  • Coupon Roundup: Thought I would share all the remaining printable coupons, as sometimes they disappear on the 1st of the month. What usually happens is they all reset, and we will lose some, gain some and be re-issued existing ones. FYI the Silk Yogurt coupon is now gone! That went quickly. You’re allowed to print two coupons of any one. You can also look for digital coupons, there can be really high-value ones. Just search under the menu heading on this site under digital for those.
  • 🔥FREE $5 Starbucks Cafe coupon at Safeway: This could make Monday a little better 🙂 I had shared this a while back, and we have thru 3/31 to use the coupon. If you got the coupon offer, it will be in the Safeway app:
  • 🎉NEW Grub Hub Promocode: $10 off $20 orders with code MARCHPLUS
  • Target: *HOT* Toy Deal This WeekUp to $25 off a Toy Purchase! There are two Circle Offers this week, for $25 or $10 off. For in-store, save and use the Target Circle offers in the app. For Online Orders, just click on the Circle Offer before adding items to your cart. Be sure to check for additional Circles, too, as this will stack with specific item ones. There are many Kitchen and Cooking Toys included, my personal faves! This Kidcraft Play Kitchen is already 30% off, then you can use the Circles on top of that!
  • 🔥Target: Up to $25 off Toys Deal: The additional Circles you can stack on top of the $25 or $10 off Circle includes one for 40% off Thomas Motorized Engine.

You can even try a 4-week same day delivery for FREE! (Target uses Shipt). I go into more detail in my Easter Candy Guide on my website, but look out for non-vegan ingredients like confectioners’ glaze which is common in candy. I’ll put a link in comments.

WWYF 300x250
  • 8 FREE Crates of plant-based Dino Nuggets will be hidden in New York and L.A. on 3/25! Note: I haven’t seen the ingredients for these, usually plant-based equals vegan but not always. Update: I found the ingredients, looks good. I’ll put in comments.
  • Is this a new regular lower price for Just Egg?! (I’m not allowed to mention Amazon prices, not sure if the same holds true for Whole Foods online). If you have Whole Foods Delivery, you may also be able to use the Ibotta.
  • Great price on these potatoes I got yesterday from US Foods! $3.99 for 15 lbs. Tip: peek inside to make sure they look good, store lights can make them turn green. I always smell them too, if water gets on the bags they can go bad. I’ve seen this potential issue at all stores. I’m writing up a post that breaks down my trip from yesterday with more info. about this store. I’ll likely have it done tomorrow.

  • Oh my, look what I found on Amazon! Elmhurst oatmilk soft-serve ice cream mix. 6 left. Reviews are very polarized, seems to be either people loved it or didn’t like it at all. Make in any ice cream machine.

Holidays:

I’ve been putting Easter posts under this Holiday heading


We are starting to see some of our yearly sales on baking items. The best price I’ve found for baking items is usually in bulk large 25 lb. bags. My local Warehouse store, Smart Foodservice is where I tend to get the best price per lb. However, this time of year, flour, sugar and more will be on sale in regular stores, too. Sometimes this will beat my Warehouse store prices.
